The next day, Juliet stitched up Alex's arm and set it back on course. She put a black cast on it and then helped Alex back into bed.

"Shouldn't we get up and go see a movie or something?" Alex suggested, trying to get things back to normal.

"Alex, I don't know if being around a ton of people in a crowded, dark place is a good thing for you right now." Juliet explained.

Alex frowned, she hated being cooped up with nothing to do! She tried to sit up but Juliet pushed her back down onto the pillows. Alex shot her a look of annoyance and Juliet sigh.

"Alex, if I took you to a real doctor he would tell you that you need therapy and a stay-in-bed day. Since I know you don't want to go to a therapist, I'm giving you the stay-in-bed day. Just try to relax okay?"

"Come closer" Alex whispered to Juliet.

Juliet layed down next to Alex, wrapping an arm around her waist and snuggling close and gentle. Alex leaned over and kissed Juliet on the lips. Juliet kissed her back without a second thought, locking her fingers in Alex's dark locks. Alex hesitantly wrapped her arms around Juliet's waist and caressed her cheek. Juliet and Alex were both really enjoying the kiss when reality seemed to snap back into both of them. Alex held on tighter and Juliet gently pulled away. Alex looked at her with tears in her eyes, thinking Juliet didn't want her anymore. Juliet tilted Alex's head up until she was forced to meet the vampire's gaze.

"Alex trust me, I wanted to keep kissing you even more than you did. But honestly, you're still really injured and more than that. After what's happened I think we should be pretty careful with the physical stuff okay?"

"Why, Juliet, why does this have to change anything? I just wanted things to go back to normal." Alex cried out. "I just want to forget"

Alex looked up at Juliet with haunted eyes

"Make me forget, please Juliet?" Alex asked in a broken whisper.

"Alex…I-I can't. I can't sleep with you just so you forget what happened. I want our first time to be magical and I don't want you to think of…that." Juliet answered reluctantly.

Alex leaned forward and kissed Juliet again. She wrapped her arms around Juliet's neck and got as close to her as possible. Again, Juliet pulled away with a sad and disapproving look in her eyes.

"Come on Alex, I'm not changing my mind" Juliet said.

Alex's eyes filled with tears. "You don't…want me anymore?"

"No, Alex that's not it. It's not like that. I want this just as much as you do. But I also need to wait until we're both ready, not because you want to forget or feel like you have something to prove to me. Okay?"

"Okay, I'm sorry Juliet. Just every little thing just seems like life or death right know y'know?" Alex whispered.

Juliet wrapped her arm over Alex's shoulder.

"Yeah, babe. I know" Juliet said soothingly.
